The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist


This was OUTSTANDING you guys



Caught this over the weekend while going through NBA playoff withdrawal. I remember being fascinated by this when it happened




Spoilers:


I think Wells was the patsy. Probably in on it, but didn't think it would be a real bomb. If you watch the video of him sitting on the ground talking to police, you can see his demeanor change once the thing starts ticking. Up until that point, I don't think he thought it was a real bomb.


Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong and Bill Rothstein are the masterminds. Too much evidence pointing in their direction (eyewitnesses, Bill's handwriting on the back of the heist instructions, the blue van spotted at the scene of one of the scavenger hunt locations and they were both highly intelligent.)


Gotta hand it to them for the preparation. Rothstein built the bomb with home made parts (like the Unabomber). Tracing the heist instructions with pen OVER the printed ink (untraceable) was pretty damn smart and made it untraceable.


Still a lot of questions that will never be answered here.
